The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition 6.0
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition 6.0
This article was previously published under Q234622 SYMPTOMS When attempting to build the Visual C++ 6.0 CRT Libraries,
the build fails immediately with an error that is similar to one of the
following: Error message 1 NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how
to make 'st' Error message 2 NMAKE : fatal error U1064:
MAKEFILE not found and no target specified CAUSE After selecting the option to copy the C-Runtime (CRT)
source code selected during Visual C++ 6.0 installation, the setup program does
not copy the following files that are necessary to build the CRT
Libraries:
MAKEFILE
MAKEFILE.SUB
MAKEFILE.INC
RESOLUTION The missing files are available on Disk 1 of the Visual C++
CD in the VC98\CRT\SRC directory. MORE INFORMATION The Makefile contains all the necessary information about
which switches are to be used when rebuilding the CRT libraries.
The
CRT source is provided primarily for debugging purposes. Microsoft does not
recommend rebuilding the CRT libraries and may not be able to provide support
for problems encountered when using rebuilt CRT libraries.
